Fashion is all about the evolution of style. Historic timestamps influence the present and future while maintaining the modern factor. In understanding the brand "Young Dumb&High Strung," it was no surprise they acknowledged their development far beyond being a t-shirt brand. 

You hear a name like that, and you wonder what inspired such. When asked the meaning and symbolization, designer Christian Maiko stated "It's my view of our generation today. Not in an offensive way, just making an observation. It's something everyone can relate to, living the fast life, and not having a care in the world. It symbolizes, I would say, the blunt statement of everything is black and white. There's no grey area." 

Discussing the impact of street culture, and how brands are heavily influenced by the rapid surge of street styles, YD&HS took a different stance on street relevance in their design wave. "I wouldn't say it's influenced by "street" culture. That would make it sound "urban". It's more influenced by a high fashion wanna be DIY culture. You know, the kids who make their own knock off Chanel print shirts and studded converses, because those are the people I come from," says Maiko. "I do have street art in my background. That's where I first learned how to make stencils, which is where I got the idea to hand stencil shirts."

Going beyond the t-shirt, YD&HS is expanding their next collection with accessories, eyewear, and bags. There's no better way to bring in the new year than with exciting new projects. So what can we expect from Young Dumb & High Strong? " In 2011, a lot of black ink on white cotton, as well as, the first pieces from YD&HS FEMME collection, canvas collection(a six piece canvas bag), THE GALLERY(a collection of pieces from around the world), and our first collection of accessories.
